Youthful in appearance with the eyes gazing slightly downward, he is light in complexion. The right hand held to the heart is in the mudra (gesture) of blessing and the left placed palm upward in the lap performs the mudra of meditation supporting a small black begging bowl. The head is adorned with the red vajra crown in the same design as the black vajra hat of the Karmapas. Attired in the garb of a monk, across the shoulders is an orange patchwork robe. Covering the upper torso is a monastic vest, originally designed for the Buddhist nuns of India. The lower body is wrapped with a thick red meditation cloak decorated with a gold floral pattern. With the head surrounded by a blue aureola of light, the back supported by a dark blue backrest and the top covered with a white scarf, above a thick cushion seat, spread with a monk's patchwork mat, he sits atop a small throne platform. In front on a plain table a water flask, teacup and a gold plate stacked with fruit are arranged. From the foreground of a plain green hillock, blue clouds rise into a violet sky behind.
The Shamarpa incarnation lineage dates back to the year 1283 when Rangjung Dorje, the 3rd Karmapa, presented his principal disciple, Kedrub Dragpa Sengge, with a red hat identical in shape to his own black hat. The title Shamarpa, means 'Holder of the Red Hat'. The seat of the Shamarpas is Yangpa Chen Monastery just north of Tsurpu Monastery, seat of the Karmapas. The Shamarpa incarnation lineage was banned by the Tibetan government of Lhasa after 1792 and the death of the 10th Shamar. An 11th Shamar was born as the son of the 15th Karmapa and the 16th Karmapa officially recognized the 12th Shamar, Mipam Chokyi Lodro.
